Hey Will, thank you very much. To be honest though this is my extra seat. I purchased an extra seat when I mailed out mine to have it refinishing for that exact reason. I didn’t want to go without my bike for any amount of time. Now that it has been recovered and returned to me I’m able to play with this one.

Just finished stapling down the cover. Definitely came out better then I expected. I didn’t realize how much I shaved off till I took this picture. I’ll definitely install it on my bike today for a test ride

Hey Bestrafen, I hear man lmao!! But to be honest I just took it for a quick 20 mile spin and it felt great, very comfortable!! Definitely what I’m looking for as far as look and feel, just need to redo it with a little neater thread work.

lol, I hear ya bud!! To be honest, I was a competitive cyclist for years. Just gave it up about 6 months ago. You should see the seats on my road bikes and I would be in that saddle peddling every morning for 40 to 60 miles lol

Thank you GRWHD, I appreciate that!! It’s all good. I made this thread in good fun. I decided to give this saddle a shot knowing I’m not going to end up with it on my bike. It was for fun, experience and a feel for a lower profile saddle without spending big money on a custom saddle and not like it when it’s done. More like a mock-up for future saddles. I was out riding the bike yeasterday and love the saddle feel and look. I really even don’t mind the sewing so much even though it’s not perfect. I emailed Chris at blackbird customs. I think I’m going to ship it out to him and have it recovered the way it is without gel and professionally lol. I’m happy that I was able to put 60 or so miles on the saddle to see how it feels before sending it out. In the end it’s all going to work out great!!
BTW, I might take some off the back left and right corners before sending to Chris

Hey Will, I don’t think he meant anybody on the forum. I think he meant the way I was referring to the job I did with sewing. Im saying it myself, I definitely could have done a better job! I never really did good in sewing class 😂 I do appreciate all the input everybody has given me though. Very appreciated!!!
